1 Claim.

This invention aims to provide plow structure including a removableshare which may be taken off for sharpening, novel means being suppliedfor supporting the share and carrying it from a plow stock and from afoot on the plow stock.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and toenhance the utility of devices of that type to which the presentinvention appertains.

With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within thescope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

In the accompanying drawings:

Fig. 1 shows, in side elevation, a plow constructed in accordance withthe invention, parts being broken away;

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan, wherein parts are broken away;

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the share and adjacent parts;

Figs. 4 and 5 are sections taken, respectively, on the lines 44 and 5-5of Fig. 3.

In carrying out the invention, there is provided a plow beam B,including a forwardly extended body I, provided at its rear end with adepening stock 2, terminating in a forwardly presented foot 3. The sidewalls of the foot 3 diverge downwardly, and the foot may be pointedbluntly, as disclosed in Fig. 2 of the drawings.

A U-shaped bracket 4 is secured to the forward end of the body I of theplow beam B, and through the bracket, ahead of the body I, extends avertically elongated link 5, which is flattened in cross section. clevisplate, the straight edge of which is disposed at right angles to theline of advance of the plow. Draft connections I are assembled with theforward portion of the clevis plate 6, and are spaced apartcircumferentially, so that the draft may be applied straight ahead, orlaterally, as desired. In the rear part of the clevis plate 6 there is asemicircular opening 8, the straight edge of which is disposed parallelto the rear edge of the plate, the link 5 being engaged with the Feclevis plate 6, through the opening 8. The construction is such that theclevis plate 6 can have a limited vertical movement on the forwardportion of the link 5.

The numeral 6 marks a semicircular ill) struction, and are connected tothe lower part of the stock 2 by a securing element I0, the handlesbeing sustained from the plow beam B by braces I l.

The numeral I2 designates a forwardly-extended support, saddled acrossthe foot 3, the support including side walls I4 which slant downwardlyand outwardly, to conform to the cross section of the foot 3, the sidewalls converging as they extend forwardly. The support I2 isconsiderably longer than the foot 3, the upper edge or ridge having adownwardly and forwardly disposed slant, corresponding to the downwardand forward slant of the upper edge of the foot 3.

At its top and at its rear end, the support I2 is supplied with anupwardly projecting arm I5, disposed against the forward edge of thestock 2, and fitting closely between the forward ends of the plowhandles 9. A clamp plate I6 is disposed against the rear edge of thestock 2 and is connected detachably to the arm I5 by securing devicesII, in contact with the sides of the stock 2.

Over the support I2 is placed a plow share I8 of inverted V-shape, tofit closely on the side walls I4 of the support. The plow share I8 issomewhat longer than the support I2, and carries laterally extended andupwardly inclined Wings I9, which diverge as they extend rearwardly.

The lower edges of the side walls of the plow share I 8 are connected,at the rear end of the plow share, by a transverse brace or cross piece20, engaged beneath the lower edges of the side walls I4 of the supportI2. Along their lower, longitudinal edges, the side walls of the plowshare I8 have inwardly extended flanges 2|, extended backwardly to thecross piece 29 and engaged with the lower edges of the side walls I4 ofthe support I2.

The plow share IS, the support I2 and the foot 3 of the standard 2 arejoined together by a securing member 22, such as a bolt located midwaybetween the lateral edges of the plow share.

It will be observed that, by removing the securing member 22, the plowshare I8 may be taken out readily for sharpening. The securing member 22and the bolts I! afford a means whereby the entire device may be takenapart readily and with equal facility be assembled with the stock 2.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:

Plow structure comprising a stock having a forwardly presented foot, asupport seated on top of the foot and provided at its rear end with anThe D handles 9 y be o y desired con- 55 upstanding arm, the supporthaving downward- 1y diverging walls engaging the foot, means forsecuring the arm to the stock, a share seated on top of the support andhaving downwardly diverging walls conforming to those of the support, areleasable securing element connecting the foot and the upper portionsof the support and the share, a substantially horizontal braceconnecting the lower edges of the walls of the share at the rear endsthereof, and engaging the lower edges of the support, the braceextending underneath the securing element, to serve as a guard therefor,the walls of the share being provided with transversely spaced, inwardlyprojecting, longitudinal flanges, extended from points close 1y adjacentto the forward end of the support, backwardly to the brace, the flangesengaging the lower edges of the walls of the support.
